Newsletter and jokes 16 August 2019

Hi all
Pre-Spring is sprung, at least down here in the Cape.
At the movies this week we have three new mainstream releases, as well as
the two from the subcontinent mentioned last week that opened yesterday.
First up is the latest in the "let's remember old music stars" genre, this
time the featured artist is The Boss Bruce Sprinsteen in Blinded by the
Light, unexepectedly set in the UK rather than the USA. Reviews from press
and public have been good.
That's joined by two other releases which have not been so well received.
The first of those is aimed at the very young viewers who will probably
enjoy seeing their toys on the big screen, in Playmobil: The Movie.
Meanwhile mom can check out the dark deeds in the female-driven crime drama
The Kitchen, which found more favour with the public than with the press.
On the previews side, there are a few previews next Wednesday for the
upcoming Gerard Butler actioner Angel Has Fallen. See the previews page
and remember to book :-)
Enjoy :-)

Hear about the new restaurant called Karma?

A weeping woman bursts into her hypnotherapist’s office and declares,
“Doctor, I have been faithful to my husband for 15 years, but yesterday I
broke that trust and had an affair! The guilt is killing me. I just want to
forget that it ever happened!”
The hypnotherapist shakes his head. “Not again ...”

Karate: the ancient Japanese art of getting people to buy lots of belts.

While at a convention, Bill, Jim, and Scott shared a hotel suite on the
75th floor. After a long day of meetings, they were shocked to find that
the hotel elevators were broken and that they’d have to climb all the way
up to their room.
“I have a way to break the monotony,” said Bill. “I’ll tell jokes for 25
flights, Jim can sing songs for the next 25, and Scott can tell sad stories
the rest of the way.”
As they started walking up, Bill told his first joke.
At the 26th floor, Jim began to sing.
At the 51st floor, it was Scott’s turn.
“I will tell my saddest story first,” he said.
“Once there was a man who left the room key in the car.”

I have mixed emotions when I receive Father’s Day gifts.
I’m glad my children remember me, but I’m disappointed that they actually
think I dress that way.
